Bob worked for Parks, Recreation and Marine since 2009. His official title was Superintendent of Golf Operations and Contracts, but he was also affectionately referred to as the “Chief of Stuff” for his resourcefulness and “Honey Badger” for his tenaciousness in achieving goals. In retirement, Bob plans to stay active in supporting golf, is considering adopting a rescue dog, and as he says, “Give time and resources to worthwhile causes that make the community better.” Gerardo Mouet spoke.
